These Predator Chromiums look really sick. Do they also come in two light kits instead of four? What I mean is, just doing the high beams is more of a stock look - am I right? That's how the 540's came from the factory, with just the high beams wrapped, right? Any of you guys just do the two instead of all four?

hey just say thanks to unmitza!! i think they have the best lookin angel light out there that looks bright and noticeable day n nite! and of course i had to upgrade to 6000k hid with matching hid 6000k fog lights, hell wit it just get the whole package l.e.d. turn signals side markers.. after its all done i'll gareentee its worth it after all its an m3 a must !!!

Predator Chromiums are the way to go, but just be sure you get the 6000k ones and not the Blue or Red ones. Those are not legal for street use and will get you pulled over on the side of the road pretty quickly with a smokey on your 6 giving you a fix.

Are you talking about the Predator Chromiums versus others? YES.
I have DDE Heated Raptors, and they're absolute CRAP. I have done about everything and they still don't work properly. I've had them on for about a year.
I have installed multiple sets of the Predator Chromiums on other M3's and they all look and work much better than mine and others I've seen. I'm putting Predator Chromiums on my car as soon as it warms up.

As for if they're worth it to own, that's up to you. Do you like how they look? They look aftermarket, but do not look gaudy. I am very impressed by their classy looks, and you will get a lot of attention for having them. They are a very good investment that you will be very happy with.

I bought DDE Non-heated raptors for $150 shipped, they have been in the car for 6 months and I haven't had any problems with them.

I did my research and settled on the raptors -- at the time, Predator Chromium would have run me around $250.

These include rings for all 4. The original E39 design was also all 4 rings, not just the high beams.

...i just want people to know that ebay and wiring yourself , is a great alternative and equal results from what i have read and seen

I agree. In fact, if I remember correctly, a guy posted about buying angel eyes off ebay and getting the exact same product that Umitza sells as chromiums. Like teabag said earlier, you're not paying for the quality, you're paying for the service and the warranty. If you're a DIY guy, you can do the exact same project that would cost you about $230-240, for about $60-80.

I have had had two ballasts and a ring go out, one side is often dimmer than the other, the connection is sketchy and the garbage clips wont hold them at the right angle inside the headlight housing. Other than that they have been great.
